C. Discussion

“for today’s lesson, we are going to learn more about, an

author’s purpose in writing. There are different intentions for
every text, essay, books, and letters being done by individuals.
Giving a text purpose, or intent is to make sure the author can
pass his message clearly.
An author’s purpose is his reason for or intent in writing, an
author may be to trying to amuse the reader, to persuade the
reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.
 An author’s purpose is reflected in the way he writes about a
topic. For instance, if his purpose is to amuse, he will use jokes
or anecdotes in his writing.”

“An author writes with one of four general purposes in mind:

To inform, to persuade, to entertain or to argue”Always
remember that an author always has a reason to write their
work.

“what are the four general purposes again? Yes, you___”

“very good”

‘why’ did the author write this text or essay is what we call the
author’s purpose, when you have accurately understand why
the author decides to write the text, then you can accurately
evaluate their work.
So, how do we identify the author’s purpose?
Why do I need to know the intent?
What do I do with the information I gained? “to inform, persuade, entertain and argue”
These may be questions that will pop up in your mind in this
lesson, and we’ll answer them one by one as we progress
through the lesson.”

“Let’s first talk about the purpose to persuade. When a text is

written to persuade, the author will attempt to persuade the
reader to agree with this point of view and/or subsequently
take a particular course of action.
Authors also have to be creative with their persuasive writing.
For instance, apart from form complementary facts and
examples, the author has to borrow some forms of entertaining
elements and amuse their readers. This makes their writing
enjoyable and relatable to some extent, increasing the
likelihood of persuading people to take the required course of
action.
This purpose can be seen in all kinds of writing, but most
commonly being the motivation for speeches, advertisements
and propagandas.
But, how do we identify if its purpose is to persuade? You have
to identify various techniques and strategies like repetition,
hyperbole, emotive imagery, and photographs.”

“Are we clear on the purpose of persuading everyone? Do you

have any questions?”

“okay, good. Moving on to the next one”

“when an author’s purpose is to inform his readers, they often

provide lots of facts and data. A goods examples of this is
school textbooks, they contain loads of information. This type
of purpose can be easily identifiable if the author uses facts to
enlighten his readers. It is presented in a straightforward
manner to be read by the readers.” “all clear sir, no questions so far”

“next, we have the purpose to entertain. When an author is

writing to entertain readers, he usually makes it interesting and
engaging for the readers. To entertain the said readers, the
author tries to keep things as interesting as possible by coming
up with fascinating characters, exciting plots, thrilling
storylines, and sharp dialogue. A good example of a text with
the purpose to entertain is jokes, stories, poems and plays.
To identify this type of purpose, the writer will employ various
techniques to amuse readers, by the use of humor, drama,
fictional storytelling.”

“and last, we have the purpose to argue. When we say argue, it

does not mean that the author is actively seeking to fight but
rather prove a claim or stance in a particular topic/issue. This
can be identified, when the author clearly has a biased side of
 the story or information, the author compares one side to
another or gives off his own piece of mind about a certain
situation. A very good example of this would be debates, where
candidates ready their speeches and its supporting details.”

“now, those are the four fundamental purposes an author

could have when writing his work, are there any questions
regarding the lesson?
“okay, that’s good. But now that we have finished discussing
different purposes let’s have an activity.

(student raises hand)

“none, sir.”

The word is terracide. It is not committed with guns

and knives, but with relentless bulldozers, roaring
dump trucks, and giant shovels like mythological
beasts. Dynamite cuts and rips apart mountains to
reach the minerals inside, leaving nothing but empty,

Our criminal justice system today is a disgrace.

Modern day criminals have more
rights than an honest citizen ever imagined were
written into our U.S. Constitution.
Murderers and rapists are typically set free on legal
technicalities and seldom face any jail
time. While that scum is back to work finding new

giving some real consideration to

it, things are going to continue getting
worse.
